Heart of Madness - Instrumental cover VictorTheGuitarNerd 2022-10-07 | My version of that badass tune from Fist Of The North Star. This cover was commissioned by Dante Da Cunha. If you want to me to do my take on a song for you or any other music work send me a message and we'll get something sorted.I did have quite fun using some retro gear to create this (Yamaha Rev7 and Roland GP-8 for effects, Rockman Soloist for the lead licks in the last chorus, GK 250ML for half of the rhythm guitars etc...) and I used an old reel-to-reel tape recorder for mastering to give it some nice old school flavor
Littleroot Town - Pokémon Ruby/Sapphire - Solo guitar arrangement VictorTheGuitarNerd 2021-08-09 | What!? I've actually uploaded another video? And it's a tune from a video game? Damn right! I made this arrangement like 5 or so years ago as a mean to experiment with chord voicings and I finally felt like making an actual recording of it. Playing a superstrat, made from bits and pieces from other guitars, with a Dimarzio Pro Track in the neck through the clean channel of my BluGuitar Amp1 Mercury Edition. There's also a bit of delay from a Mooer Ocean Machine pedal.
Gallien Krueger 250ML tone test VictorTheGuitarNerd 2021-03-10 | For guitar nerds. I bought an old GK 250ML amp a little while back and wanted to play around with it to see how it could sound in a quick and dirty mix. Why did I choose to play a Judas Priest riff and not something from Iron Maiden's Somewhere In Time, Rush's Power Windows or any of the other 80s albums that were recorded with one of these little amps? Well, because I felt like it. The picture is something I found on Google. Apparently it's from a an old issue of In Tune magazine from 1986 which featured a review of the amp
Sweet Child O Mine solo VictorTheGuitarNerd 2021-03-09 | I had a go at a classic GnR solo. Just a quick phone recording so video and audio quality might not be perfect.
NSP - The Mystic Crystal - Instrumental rock cover VictorTheGuitarNerd 2020-07-05 | This one took quite a bit longer than I thought it would. I actually started working on this right after NSP released the song. (All the other projects I've done during that time did take up most of that time to be fair). Hope you like it!
Good Morning VictorTheGuitarNerd 2020-05-24 | Here's a short (and heavily Devin Townsend-inspired) piece I wrote along with a crappy pictures of some trees from my backyard.

Secret of Mana - Phantom And A Rose cover VictorTheGuitarNerd 2018-09-21 | About a month ago I got an old D-550 rack synth from the late 80s. This cover is basically me just playing around with that with some guitar on top.
Gamma Ray - Heaven Can Wait cover feat. Dan Vasc VictorTheGuitarNerd 2018-09-12 | My friend Dan Vasc suggested that we'd do this cover for Yellow September, the international month of suicide prevention. I think that was a rather wonderful idea because of how horrible depression and suicide is and how wonderful the message of the song is. If you or anyone you know struggle with suicidal thoughts, here's an international list of suicide crisis hotlines: http://www.buddy-project.org/hotlines

Dan's also responsible for the video Check out his channel: youtube.com/channel/UCbZRdTukTCjFan4onn04sDAAlso, look, I'm not dead lol. The reason I've been so inactive for the last few months is a combination of being busy in school and dealing with computer issues that makes recording difficult since august.
Somewhere Else - Original composition VictorTheGuitarNerd 2017-11-20 | Here's a chill tune I wrote and recorded back in february. I don't know why I haven't uploaded it until now, I guess I wasn't completely satisfied with the recording/performance which might not be flawless. However, I've since realised that I think it's great the way it is, it's not supposed to be flawless, the point of it all is that it is human.

Dream Theater - The Best of Times solo cover (Late night jam pt.2) VictorTheGuitarNerd 2017-05-27 | Unrehearsed, one take jam just for fun. Filmed with my phone, hence the crappy quality (and apparently youtubes compression made it way worse).Here's the backing track I used: youtu.be/AHP-9NCvKSYFor those interested in equipment and gear:I'm playing an Ibanez RS440 from '85 with a Dimarzio Super Distortion in the bridge through a Bugera 333xl boosted by a ts808. I'm using a DD-3 delay in the fx loop.
